Then whose enemy is he?

Surely the enemy of far more persons than the total number of Tibetans.

 

Of course, if you ARE speciesist, as your rhetoric implies,

you will suggest that nonhumans " don't count " -

as the US Census did. www.Census.gov.

 

The actual wording was " Everyone counts "

but the reality was that " Everyone counts EXCEPT nonhumans " .

 

Why should FNB mental activity be any more " authoritative "

for an anarchist than the energies of any organized society?

 

For souls of sensitivity, it depends on their moral integrity.
